LVR 9/10 Rec Leadership begins annual Food Cupboard Drive
By Contributor
This Christmas, Ms. Martin’s 9/10 Leadership class will be doing its annual food drive for the Nelson Food Cupboard.
The leadership class will be delivering decorated empty food hampers to every classroom at LVR for the students to contribute non-perishables.
To motivate the students to give, there will a prize for the class who collects the most food items. A list is posted of the most desirable, nutritious options to donate to make giving a little easier.
Also a candy grams event within LVR has been planned to raise money for a cash donation to the Nelson Food Cupboard. If you are also willing to make a non-perishable food donation or a money donation through our food drive, feel free to drop off a donation at the LVR office.
The leadership group is also currently working on raising $500.00 for medical care and medical kits through “Canadian Lutheran World Relief” (CLWR).
CLWR is a non-profit organization that provides emergency relief, medical care and supplies, education for community development and sustainability practices.
The class has organized two bake sales at LVR and is planning on having an information table with Christmas baking at Nelson’s Credit Union on Dec. 4.
Decorated donation jars have also been placed at local business counters.
Anyone interested in helping us reach our goal, please consider placing a small donation in our clearly marked jars at these generous businesses: Grounded, Waits News, Old World Bakery, Otter Books, Dominion Café, Vienna Café, Still Eagle, Pixie Candy Shoppe, Secret Garden Toys, Ellison’s, Reo’s Videos, Gaia Rising, and Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza.
As well as bake sales and donations for the CLWR, we’ll be offering yard services to the community.
Students will shovel snow off driveways. Payment is by donation, and all proceeds will be put toward our goal to raise money for the CLWR. If you are interested in the services we are offering, please e-mail Josie Day at [email protected]and leave your name, address, phone number, and the date you would like us to work.
The last day that we can work is January 9.
